A fork of the classic MenuMeters macOS utility that displays CPU, memory, disk, and network usage monitors in the menu bar. It runs as a standalone faceless app using NSStatusItem, since modern macOS no longer loads third-party menu extras.

Use cases

  • monitor cpu usage from the mac menu bar
  • show memory and disk activity in the menubar
  • display network throughput on macos
  • system monitor for el capitan through big sur
  • replace activity monitor with menu bar stats

When to choose

  • you want the classic MenuMeters look on older macOS versions like El Capitan through Big Sur
  • you prefer a lightweight GPL-2.0 menubar monitor
  • you want to hack on an Objective-C menu bar utility

When to avoid

  • you run a recent macOS version - actively maintained alternatives like Stats, iGlance, or eul are recommended
  • you need modern UI or advanced monitoring features
  • you need a signed, regularly updated app
